MIT neuroscientists have identified parts of the brain’s visual cortex that respond preferentially when we look at “things” — that is, solid objects like a bouncing ball. Other brain regions are more activated when looking at “stuff” — liquids or granular substances such as sand.
Advice from postdoc Alisa White in @PageLabXY: "Don’t get married to any one idea. You could accidentally get an interesting result that might end up being a launching point for your career." wi.mit.edu/news/meet-whit… #WhiteheadPostdocProfiles
The James Webb Space Telescope has observed several tidal disruption events — when a black hole draws in a nearby star and tears it to shreds. Surprisingly, these are not active black holes, but dormant ones that briefly “wake up” to feast on a passing star.…
